Check out the original layout for Glen Eden Funeral Home and Cemetery back when it was the Riverside Cemetery circa 1915 - Main Street was still a dirt road!

The foundation for one of the original buildings (seen on the right side of the entry way) is still there as a sculpture and flower bed in the next photo (facing north).

Arbor Memorial purchased the land circa 1947 and it's been Glen Eden Cemetery ever since!

There are common pitfalls in life - passing away without your affairs in order is one of the most expensive and avoidable. It will be a priority for you at some point. The question is whether you decide to take action now or "some day, maybe".

Show your family you love them by protecting them from the inevitable expense and decisions that we will each face in life.
You'll never regret it.

You only have to prepare once.
